Fortnite Creative x The Walking Dead: Apocalyptic Assets and Tools Now Live; Check Event Details

Today marks the launch of the Fortnite Creative x The Walking Dead collab, and it’s pretty wild. Epic Games just dropped a bunch of new assets in Fortnite Creative and UEFN that let you build your own zombie apocalypse maps. Here’s the scoop:

What’s in the Box?

New Weapons & Items

Negan’s Bat, Lucille: Yep, that infamous barbed-wire bat is here as a mythical melee weapon. It’s perfect for those moments when you just need to smash some walkers—or maybe even other survivors.

Shiva Shotgun: This isn’t your ordinary pump shotgun. It’s got a modded, exotic vibe with some cool audio effects (think tiger roars or something equally wild) to amp up that post-apocalyptic feel.

Walker NPCs & Creative Templates

Walker NPCs: These slow, shambling zombies are exactly what you’d expect from The Walking Dead. They might be a bit clumsy, but when they come in hordes… well, you know the drill.

Creative Templates: If you’re not sure where to start, Epic’s got you covered with pre-built templates. These setups come loaded with environmental assets, layouts, and lighting that give off that eerie, desolate vibe straight out of a zombie movie.

New Props & Environmental Assets

From run-down buildings and barricades to survivor camps and old, abandoned vehicles – there’s a ton of stuff to help you build a gritty, story-driven island. It’s like having your own mini Walking Dead set in Fortnite.

What About the Battle Royale Skins?

While all this cool stuff is focused on Fortnite Creative, there’s also some good news for Battle Royale fans. BR skins featuring The Walking Dead characters are expected to be making a comeback soon – it’s been over a year, so fingers crossed!

Publishing Timeline

One more thing to note: even though you can start building with all these awesome assets right now, you can’t publish your The Walking Dead-themed islands until May 16, 2025. So, go ahead and experiment, get creative, and then when May 16 rolls around, share your apocalyptic masterpieces with the world!

This collab is pretty cool because it opens up a whole new way for Fortnite creators to tell their own zombie apocalypse stories. Robert Kirkman, the mastermind behind The Walking Dead, even said it’s an “incredible opportunity” to expand the universe in ways we’ve never seen before. And honestly, who wouldn’t want to see Lucille smashing through hordes of zombies or create maps filled with creepy walkers?

So, whether you’re a hardcore Fortnite creator or just a fan excited for some Walking Dead vibes, today’s launch is a big deal. Dive into Fortnite Creative, check out the new tools, and start building your own version of a post-apocalyptic nightmare!
